Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that defender Nemanja Vidic could return for the Red Devils' match against fierce rivals Liverpool tomorrow.
The Serbia international has not played competitively since August since suffering a calf injury.
"The big question mark is whether Vidic is ready," said Ferguson. "It's certainly a consideration because he's such a great competitor.
"He came in yesterday (Thursday) and felt okay, but the Liverpool game is such an intense, stamina-draining game that you want everyone to be 100% so it might be more down to how he feels himself."
Vidic will discover whether he has made the starting lineup when United travel to Anfield on Saturday.
